WORK ON THE WORD 4!

WORK ON THE WORD 4!
I start quoting 2 Timothy 2 vs. 15: Study to show yourself approved to GOD, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. As a child of GOD, we are to know what GOD’s word says, means and work on them. It is one thing to know and it’s another thing to do what the word is saying. Many read or hear GOD’s word and it falls on hard hearts, many falls on rocky hearts, many fall on thorny hearts; and some fall on fertile hearts. The hard hearts hear the word; but the devil comes immediately, and takes away the word that they have heard. Mark 4 vs. 15: And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, but when they have heard; satan comes immediately and take away the word that was sown in their hearts. The rocky hearts represents those hearts, who hear the message with joy, but like young plants in soil, their roots don’t go very deep, and though at first they get along fine, as soon as persecution begins, they wilt. Mark 4 vs. 17: And have no root in themselves and so endure but for a time, afterwards when affliction or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.

         

Moreover, the thorny hearts represent hearts of people who listen to the word and receive it; but all too quickly the attractions of the world, the delights of wealth and the search for fame and success comes in and crowd out GOD’s word from their hearts, so that no fruit is produced. Mark 4 vs. 19: And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other thing entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. What is choking GOD’s word in your hearts? Is GOD’s word bearing fruits in your life? The last is the fertile heart, this heart represent heart of those who truly accept GOD’s word and produce a plentiful harvest for GOD, that is the word is fruitful to their soul, spirit and body. Mark 4 vs. 20: And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it; and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty, and some a hundred. We are to have a fertile heart for GOD’s word, so the word will be deeply rooted in us. Ask GOD to help you with a fertile heart, so his words can dwell richly in you and produce fruits. Kindly, share with others. It is well with us…

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...
